Swapping Goalies.
Why can’t we sub starting goalie out for back up goalies?

Community ManagerHi there. The original intent was to stop a desync. That was a few years ago. I don't know the current state of this though. I'll pass on the feedback. Thank you.
A few years ago. Define a few. Also this is also another example of an issue in the game and the fix is to remove something and just never look back.

No, it's not an example of removing something and not looking back. There have been bigger issues to work on.
Out of curiosity, are you doing this just for more authenticity? Typically, the backup is worse than the starter so there's not much of a benefit to replacing a starter with better ratings.There’s times when someone scores like 3 goals on their first 3 shots so switching to another goalie sometimes helps as they may know that particular goalies weak spots or you can switch from a right handed goalie to a left handed goalie which can really mess with people as glove side is usually harder to score on and yes for authenticity as well. we have two goalies for a reason. I know it helps with synergies but being able to swap goalies in a one sided game can be beneficial even if it’s just mental comfort.

I see how changing up the handedness can throw someone off. That's not a bad reason. Also, 3 shots on 3 goals could be related to how defense is being played. Regardless, hopefully, we'll get this addressed in the future. Thanks for all the feedback!
I mean with ultimate team I have two goalies at the same overall. If my goalie lets in two quick goals from the top of the circle when they should be making the stop how is that due to lack of defense ?
We would like the option to change out goalies to be able to try and switch it up or change momentum. Kinda how the time outs have that effect in game.
Yep, exactly.
